let’s get mugged

This is the inspo pic i found. It’s a double vessel with a carved outter cup which meant that I had to throw two forms that fit together and then join them.

pretend you don’t see the handle so this is time accurate <3
I printed heart stencils and used a water based marker to transfer and space my design

egmchenry — 2022-03-07 16:41:08 UTC

I used an xacto knife to cut out my designs. As far as improvement, i dragged out this process and made it harder on myself as it dried. I made a couple of the stencils superrrr close when i cleaned them up and nicked my inner vessel a couple times. Nothin you can’t fix up tho!

egmchenry — 2022-03-07 17:21:09 UTC

I left the hearts in until they were all cut and the handle was on to keep it from breaking. once it was finished i popped ‘em out and rounded the edges.

The original foot cracked in the fire so we chiseled it off and gorilla glued a rope foot.

This is layers of rain bow slip that was carved and sponged away. I put clear glaze over the top and sanded the spots once it had been bisque fired.
